New Nokia Technology

Okay, this is real, but the mind boggles at the number of humorous uses for this.

First of all, sexting becomes a bit more personal. Let's not even get started on the possible uses of a flash mob and a strategically placed tattoo.

Strange, not sure I really understand how it works. So you get tatted up like a reg tattoo then the tat vibrates when you get a text or phone call? Strange.

yeah, I haven't pulled the patent up yet but it seems to me that one could read the Bluetooth V4.0 specification on the patent as well as much of the low power sensor technology from TI. I don't know enough about the ink technology background to know if ink that is reactive to certain magnetic fields or frequencies is new or not. Remote unlocking of magnetically sealed doors is well known, however. If I get bored, I'll look up the patent history to see how the patent office queried the technology and what questions that they raised. That's always enlightening, if not entertaining.
